Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Newburgh, Ind., plans to open its emergency department expansion June 1, according to a Tristate-Media report.
The expansion will add 32 treatment rooms, eight observation rooms, an Advanced Intake Area and dedicated areas for pediatrics and discharge. This project is the first phase of a multi-phase project that will include remodeling some facilities.
The new ED will enable Deaconess Gateway Hospital to accommodate a greater patient volume. When the ED first opened in January 2006, the hospital estimated there would be 15,500 patient visits in 2008 and 23,000 in 2015. The ED expanded in 2008, and in 2010, the ED already had 31,000 visits. The hospital predicts 37,000 ED visits for 2012.
